Background
The Human Services Department of the US Office of Civil Rights Health (OCR) collects reports of data loss incidents submitted by entities in healthcare per the regulations stipulated in HIPAA/HITEC.
These events are processed as data breaches, alongside other sources that provide breach news and notifications. Data breaches that are sourced from the OCR have links referring back to it. These can be independently confirmed by searching for the event in the Office for Civil Rights Department of Health and Human Services Portal.
Data Lookup
Use the following method to access and search for records in the Office for Civil Rights Department of Health and Human Services Breach Portal.
-
Expand the Show Advanced Options drop-down menu.
-
Type a simplified, lowercase version of the company name into the field marked “CE / BA Name Search:” and then select Apply Filters.
-
Try searching for “bitsight,” instead of “Bitsight, LLC.”
-
If a company operates as a dba, it may be necessary to search both names to find the correct one.
-
If a name search does not yield results, try leaving all fields blank and changing the “Breach Submission Date:” range to when the breach was available in the Bitsight Security Ratings Platform. It is possible that several events will be returned using this search criteria.
